Here, it's not about "what you said" it's about what you left out.

It appears you are attempting to rejecting Longman's thesis about what roles churches did play (for both ill, and some good too, but less of that latter) while accepting what he wrote about radio broadcasts & mob incitement?

Who are you trying to convince. Me, or yourself?

He has to openly pronounce all the exceptions to anything he may say --- each time he says most anything?

Live by tribalism, die by tribalism(s).

I am not saying that no religious people were involved. What I am saying is there were examples of individual priests doing bad things but also of many individual priests who helped to protect the victims.

Longman’s piece dishonestly blames the Catholic Church for actions of individuals when for the most part the Catholic Church was a force for good. Longman appears to be anti-Catholic and I disagree with some of his conclusions.

Longman also does not recognize the role of the Catholic Church in rebuilding Rwanda and helping the survivors.

But my main point is that Pope Francis attacks the Catholic Church and refuses to recognize the good things done by Catholics throughout the world.
